The four Warzone 2 personalities came together on the Pullze Check podcast to talk about the game\u2019s upcoming Ranked mode. There\u2019s not much known about the mode. IceManIsaac recently suggested that it will have a list of banned items, but that\u2019s all we know so far. Even the pros are still out of the loop on how it will function. Players are brimming with anticipation for the long-awaited mode, but the group had some concerns that stem from the Warzone 2 potentially copying Modern Warfare 2\u2019s Skill Rating system. They claimed that Apex Legends has things figured out in a way that CoD hasn\u2019t managed yet. Warzone 2 pros explain why CoD should copy from Apex Legends The big problem that the Pullze Check crew is scared of for Warzone 2 is that a Ranked system has the potential to turn into a grindfest, meaning that the players will rank up too easily if they simply play the game a bunch instead of actually improving at it. This thought process stemmed from Aydan explaining that he feels that way about both Fortnite Arenas and MW2\u2019s Ranked Play. \u201cSay you\u2019re a Top 250 squad and you lose to a bunch of solo Crimsons \u2013 you don\u2019t really lose as much SR as I think you should,\u201d he explained. \u201cLike ScummN, for example, he\u2019s been doing 24-hour streams, and it shouldn\u2019t come down to that. It should come down to skill.\u201d As for how to fix that, JGOD suggested that \u201chuge penalties\u201d need to be applied to squads that lose to make the balance feel rewarding in the long run. IceManIsaac pointed to Overwatch\u2019s Top 500 system, which does have huge negatives in losses and an SR decay system that would keep players regularly playing, not allowing them to \u201ccamp\u201d the top ranks. The crew then brought up Apex Legends\u2019 scaling RP penalty for each rank, with Aydan calling it \u201cthe best FPS BR Ranked mode\u201d right now, and insinuating that Warzone 2\u2019s Ranked needs to be similarly grueling. Of course, this is all theoretical for the time being, but this squad certainly feels like there\u2019s a lesson to be learned from WZ 2\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CoD experts claim Warzone 2 Ranked needs to copy Apex Legends to succeed Respawn Entertainment, ActivisionWarzone 2 experts Aydan, JGOD, IceManIsaac, and Repullze have revealed what the upcoming Ranked mode needs to borrow from Apex Legends to be successful.
